Hi, can you describe some useful scenarios and programs where this
could be useful?

[PATCH 1/1] libwine: Use WINEUSER as user_name, if set

[Lucian Poston]

I don't have a specific example app that I can share here, but more
generally, it's useful for apps that behaves differently based upon
the running user name. A useful scenario is an app that uses the
current user name as part of a heuristic to track the user. This patch
could help mitigate that.

[PATCH 1/1] libwine: Use WINEUSER as user_name, if set

[Andrey Gursky]

Hi,

this is essential for MSYS2 [1]. WINEPREFIX makes wine installation
portable, but once you start wine on a different account, you get also
a different user on a MSYS2 shell.

Regards,
Andrey
